India’s Asian Games 2026 medal tally climbed to 19 on September 25 after a bright morning in Aichi-Nagoya. Suruchi Singh and Kamaljeet won gold in the 10m air pistol mixed team event, while Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, Rudrankksh Patil and Niraj Kumar took silver in the men’s 50m rifle 3 positions team event. India now has two gold, eight silver and nine bronze medals.
The day is far from over. Four athletics finals involving Indian athletes are still scheduled for the evening, while the men’s 100m could open another medal route if Gurindervir Singh or Animesh Kujur reaches the final. Other conditional chances may also come through swimming and fencing.
Key Highlights
- India’s medal tally stands at 19, with two gold, eight silver and nine bronze.
- Suruchi Singh and Kamaljeet delivered India’s second gold of the Games in mixed-team pistol.
- The men’s 50m rifle 3P team added silver, although India missed the individual podium.
- Four athletics finals remain on Friday evening, with another possible medal event in the men’s 100m.
Shooting Takes India From 17 Medals To 19
India started Friday with 17 medals before shooting supplied two quick additions. Kamaljeet and Suruchi topped the 10m air pistol mixed-team qualification with 587-29x and went on to win gold. It was India’s first shooting gold at these Games and its second gold overall after the women’s cricket team.
Soon after, Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, Rudrankksh Patil and Niraj Kumar combined for silver in the men’s 50m rifle 3 positions team event. Their score of 1762-94x placed India behind China, which finished with 1766-95x.
There was no third shooting medal in the individual final. Aishwary finished fifth with 327.6, while Niraj ended eighth with 299.0. The result kept India’s total at 19 after the shooting events.

How Many More Medals Could India Win Today?
The clearest remaining opportunities sit in athletics. India has competitors in four medal finals from 3:35 pm IST onward. Manpreet Kaur and Krishna Jayasankar Menon are entered in the women’s shot put, Sindhushree Ganesha and Baranica Elangovan in the women’s pole vault, Gulveer Singh in the men’s 10,000m, and Damneet Singh and Praveen Kumar in the men’s hammer throw.
That gives India four direct medal events in the evening. A fifth route could open in the men’s 100m final at 6:50 pm IST if Gurindervir Singh or Animesh Kujur progresses from the semifinals.
Swimming and fencing also had medal sessions listed subject to qualification, so the final number of Indian medal opportunities can change as results come in. The official September 25 India schedule on Olympics.com provides the day’s event programme.
Athletics Could Shape India’s Evening
The men’s 10,000m will draw particular attention because Gulveer Singh enters a race where positioning and the final laps can quickly reshape the podium. The women’s shot put and men’s hammer throw also give India multiple entrants, increasing the number of athletes chasing top-three finishes.
The key point is that “four medal events left” does not mean four medals are guaranteed. It means India has confirmed athletes in four finals, with extra possibilities depending on qualification elsewhere.
Kabaddi And Squash Bring Medals Closer
India’s kabaddi campaign has also produced two assured medals after the men’s and women’s teams progressed to their finals on Friday. Those medals, however, should not be added to the current live tally until the medal results are officially recorded. The gold-medal matches are scheduled for September 26.
Squash has strengthened India’s upcoming medal count as well. Joshna Chinappa and Velavan Senthilkumar secured at least bronze in mixed doubles after beating the Philippines pair 11-3, 11-5 to reach the semifinals.
These assured podium places are important for India’s wider campaign, but they are different from medals already added to the official tally. That explains why live reports can mention “medals assured” while India’s displayed count remains 19.
